  • Leverage expertise in optics design and new optics technologies to analyze trades in performance and size, weight, and power for satellite optical payloads.
  • Utilize modeling tools to develop insights in co-design of different optical technologies in a single optical payload.
  • Collaborate with optical designers and team mates to evaluate and mature optics technologies, and develop a pipeline to transition them to production and integration into optical payloads.
  • Contribute to developing a roadmap of novel imaging technologies for future space systems, and explore nascent concepts.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Optics, or equivalent field with 8-12 years,Master's degree with 6-10 years of prior relevant experience or Doctorate with 4+ years of prior relevant experience.
  • Must be a U.S Citizen.

  • Expertise in performance evaluations of optical components, including point spread functions (PSFs), modulation transfer functions (MTFs), encircled power, etc.
  • Experience with fabrication and characterization of optics, including diffractive/meta-optics.
  • Proficient experience with finite element-based design tools such as COMSOL, CST, or Lumerical.
  • Proficient experience with optical design tools such as Zemax or Code V.
  • Proficient in Windows.
  • Excellent communication skills and proven ability to work directly with customers and deliver results.
  • Mission oriented with a strong ability guide a team towards goals and deliver real world products.
  • Proficient with technical writing, documentation, and organization.
  • Robust sense of initiative, a self-starter who can work independently.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Active Secret security clearance.
